Verification and dynamic modification of multiple location source selection system for user device location detection

Abstract

System and method for verifying a source selection mechanism that selects location data from multiple sources for location-based services. One or a plurality of sequences of simulated location data are generated for a plurality of simulated sources. Each corresponding sequence includes a plurality of simulated location data for a corresponding simulated actual location. An expected source selection is set for the corresponding sequence. A source selection mechanism is employed on the corresponding sequence to generate an actual source selection that represents the corresponding simulated actual location. In response to the actual source selection failing to match the expected source selection for the corresponding sequence, the corresponding sequence is labeled as an anomalous selection by the source selection mechanism. And in response to the actual source selection matching the expected source selection for the corresponding sequence, the corresponding sequence is labeled as a verified selection by the source selection mechanism.
